Vegetable medicine

Even the healthiest bodies occasionally fall prey to such everyday ailments as colds, sore throats, headaches, sinus trouble and constipation. And, while there are lots of nonprescription remedies available, many have drawbacks: Some can be addictive, others are too strong for minor discomfort, a few are considered flat-out ineffective by the FDA, and a great many have undesirable side effects. So the next time you’re feeling poorly, check out the produce department of your grocery store before you run to the pharmacy. The ingredients listed in the recipes that follow have longestablished medicinal properties that can alleviate the symptoms of minor illnesses. Do you feel a cold coming on? Try some delicious ascorbic acid ice milk or super-C soup. Nature’s penicillin will soothe a cough or a sandpaper throat. And goodtasting fruit ‘n’ bran balls are the natural way to combat constipation. NATURE’S PENICILLIN 24 cloves of garlic raw honey Peel the garlic cloves and put them in a medium-sized jar; add honey a little at a time over a couple of days until the jar is full, then set it in a sunlit window until the garlic has turned somewhat opaque and the honey tastes strongly of garlic. Take a teaspoon every few hours or whenever necessary.

Landscape fabric offers effective weed control

Spring in the midwest means warmer sunny days, greener grass, flowering plants — and weeds. Weeds stand between two typical summertime goals: beautifully manicured shrubbery and garden beds, and time to enjoy outdoor activities. The growing trend toward maintenance-free lawn and garden care has its roots in the lifestyles of the eighties — twoincome families, busy social schedules, children’s activities and other demands on what seems to be a too-short 24-hour day. X" Now the weeds can be taken care of in the plant beds by using a number of weed controls available at home and garden centers, hardware stores, lumber stores and nurseries.

Hypertension

High blood pressure — hypertension — is one of the most serious diseases in the United States. It affects over 35 million people, approximately one out of every four-five American adults. Resources for detection, confirmation, and referral of high blood pressure measurements should concentrate on: 1. Those persons already identified as having elevated blood pressure; 2. Those in high risk groups (obese, blacks, and blood relatives of individuals with hypertension or at risk for hypertension; 3. Those persons with limited access to the health care system. To increase awareness of high blood pressure and make a public site available locally, Fountainview Place, Goshen, is having two monthly blood pressure screening clinics beginning in June. Everyone is invited to attend either the clinic to be held the first Wednesday, June 4, from 9-11 a.m. or the third Monday evening, June 16, from 5-7 p.m. These blood pressure clinics will be held by persons having received the state training and certification. Each person will be given a record of his/her blood pressure reading on a card for his/her wallet and return visit.

Landscape Fabric: This was introduced to homeowners about two years ago by the Du Pont Company. Landscape Fabric is gaining popularity as an effective weed tamer for shrubbery and flower beds. Tiny pores in the tough fabric allow water, oxygen and nutrients to pass through to plant roots, yet are too small for most weeds to grow though. Gravel or mulch (described, below) covers it and stays in placebecause of the fabric’s textunf Homeowners--Can apply landscape fabric quickly and easily. Roll it over new plantings and use scissors or a knife to cut an “x” in the fabric where it covers shrubs or other plantings. Gently slide the fabric down around the plants and fold the excess fabric underneath itself. Cover it with mulch to a depth of three-to-four inches. For large plants, cut and fit the

fabric around the base. Rolls are three feet wide by 25, 50 or 100 feet long. Black plastic: Plastic retards weed growth, but can cut off water, oxygen and nutrients to plants because it is not porous. It lasts about 18 months and can shred, requiring replacement. Gravel or mulch layer covers it, but can wash off in heavy rain, or on sloping ground because of plastic’s slick surface. Installation similar to Landscape Fabric. Gravel or mulch: A layer of stone or tree cuttings (usually pine) is spread on bare ground to a depth of three-to-four inches. They slow weed growth and make weeding less tedious. Toxic chemical weed killers: They are effective on lawns, but must be used with special care on shrubbery and flower beds. Manual weeding: Only for lawn and garden purists and those who consider weeding therapeutic.
